About

Voting is perhaps the most powerful voice a citizen has in choosing leaders and having a say in decisions affecting our communities and daily lives. For the nation’s democracy to function properly and for the government to provide fair representation, all eligible Americans must have the opportunity to vote — and be encouraged to do so. As the nation’s only Historically Black College and University system in America with a storied history of advocacy and promoting civil rights, the Southern University System continues to encourage, educate, and motivate voter participation through the SU Votes! initiative. Our goal is to consistently engage the entirety of the SU System and communities to effectuate growth in the number of registered voters, raise awareness of issues, and boost voter participation.
